It may depend on what state you reside in, or whether the "voter" has had their "rights" restored. You can also contact your county's Voting Registrar's Office. The person may just BE voting illegaly and the Registrar's Office has never been notified.

Is it legal to deny a person with a felony a job?
In the United States, it is legal for employers to deny a job to a person with a felony conviction, as long as the decision is based on a legitimate business reason. However, employers must consider the nature of the offense, its relevance to the job, and how much time has passed since the conviction before making a decision. Discriminating against someone solely based on their criminal record may be illegal in some jurisdictions.

Can employment be obtained with a felony conviction?
Yes, a felony does not prevent you from gaining employment. It might limit your employment opportunities. It depends on what the felony conviction is... fraud or embezzling would probably keep you from working in a bank or securities exchange. Most retail businesses would not hirer you either. That said, you could work in hospitals, construction field, entertainment and public services. Do Not lie if asked if you have a felony, be honest and explain it. If it was 3 or 4 years ago and no arrest since then you have a greater chance of being hired.

You can certainly have a legal marriage. However, that will not change his status automatically and he could still be deported.

You could find yourself married and have to either abandon the marriage or move to his country of origin.

Can a Felony get full custody in Florida?
Possibly yes, if the court feels it would be in the best interests of the child to be placed with the parent with a felony conviction. The nature of the felony would be taken into consideration, how long ago it happened, whether conditions of parole and/or probation have been met and if not, if those conditions would present a hardship on caring for and providing for the child. And finally, the parent's lifestyle since the conviction would also be considered. In other words, it would not automatically preclude it, depending on many factors.
Does shell oil hire DUI felons?
Highly doubtful, especially if the conviction, as you've noted, is a felony. In fact, it is most probable that a felony conviction of any type would preclude hiring at all, unless there were mitigating circumstances that a savvy personnel officer has taken into consideration, such a length of time since such conviction, ie, 20 years, a letter from the judge, or a subsequent quashing of the conviction. It's best to contact Shell directly to enquire as each company holds different views, especially depending upon the position for which is being applied and what potential impact hiring such an individual may have on the company.
